Abstract： Objective To analyze clinical outcomes of intra-aortic balloon pump （IABP） application for high-risk patients before undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting （OPCAB）， and summarize our experience and weaning indications of IABP. Methods We retrospectively analyzed clinical data of 102 high-risk patients with coronary artery disease who underwent IABP implantation before OPCAB from January 2008 to July 2011 in Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University. There were 71 male patients and 31 female patients with their average age of 63.0±8.2 years in this IABP group. We also chose another 100 patients without IABP implantation before undergoing OPCAB as the control group， including 55 male patients and 45 female patients with their average age of 64.1±9.5 years. Postoperative systolic arterial blood pressure （SABP）， mean arterial blood pressure （MABP）， mechanical ventilation time， length of intensive care unit（ICU） stay， morbidity， duration of IABP treatment and in-hospital mortality of two groups were compared. Left ventricular ejection fraction （LVEF） was evaluated with echocardiography 3 months after surgery. Results Postoperative SABP （95.3±12.2 mm Hg vs. 80.1±11.7 mm Hg；t=8.440， P=0.000） and MABP （78.9±13.5 mm Hg vs. 52.3±15.1 mm Hg； t=12.410， P=0.000） of the IABP group were significantly higher than those of the control group. Mechanical ventilation time， length of ICU stay and duration of inotropic support of the IABP group were significantly shorter than those of the control group. The incidence of ventricular arrhythmia， low cardiac output syndrome， perioperative myocardial infarction and dialysis-requiring acute kidney failure of the IABP group were significantly lower than those of the control group. In-hospital mortality of the IABP group was significantly lower than that of the control group ［5.9% （6/102） vs. 17.0% （17/100）， χ 2 =6.180， P=0.020］. Ninety-six patients in the IABP group and 83 patients in the control group were followed up for 3 months. Three months after surgery， echocardiography showed that LVEF of the IABP group was significantly higher than that of the control group（45.3%±12.0% vs. 39.1%±8.2%， t=3.950， P=0.000）. Conclusion Preoperative prophylactic IABP implantation and optimal timing of weaning from IABP support can not only significantly reduce surgical risk and improve surgical outcomes and postoperative recovery of high-risk patients undergoing OPCAB， but also considerably ameliorate patient heart function and reduce perioperative morbidity and mortality.
Objective To analyze the mean flow in left internal m am mary artery ( L IMA) graft and the influencing factors in off- pump coronary artery bypass grafting ( OPCAB) in the Chinese. Methods One hundred and eighty patients with OPCAB were studied.Transit- tim e flowmeter( TTFM) was utilized to measure and record the L IMA’s blood flow wave,pulsatility index( PI) ,value of mean flow,systolic and diastolic peak flow,vascular resistance,insufficiency ratio and mean blood pressure and to analyze the relationship between mean flow of LIMA and other factors. Results Total mean flow calculated from that of all patients was2 8.19± 2 .89ml/ min( 6 - 178 ml/ m in) .Majority m ean value ( 6 4 .4 % ) was in the range of 10 - 30 ml/ min.Statistics showed that mean flow was significantly related to systolic and diastolic peak flow and vascular resistance rather than the other factors( r=0 .75 , 0 .94 ,- 0 .95 ) . Conclusions For the Chinese,over 10 ml/ min mean flow of L IMA graftis acceptable and ov...更多er 2 2 ml/ min is satisfactory.The diastolic peak flow and vascular resistance are two most important factors in influencing mean flow.
ObjectiveTo explore the incidence of total occlusion of right coronary artery (RCA)and its treatment strategy during off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB). MethodsA total of 1 153 patients with total RCA occlusion were chosen from 6 206 patients who underwent OPCAB in Beijing Anzhen Hospital from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2012. There were 889 male (77.1%)and 264 female (22.9%)patients with their age of 45-78 years. The incidence of total RCA occlusion was calculated, and its treatment strategies were discussed. ResultsAmong 6 206 OPCAB patients, 1 153 patients (18.6%)had total RCA occlusion. All the 1 153 patients successfully received OPCAB, but 13 patients (1.1%)died postoperatively. Thirty-four patients (2.9%)had postoperative complications including cerebral infarction, mild to moderate pleural effusion and poor wound healing, all of whom were cured or improved, and all the other patients were discharged uneventfully. A total of 1 110 patients (97.4%)were followed up for 1 month to 7 years, and 30 patients were lost during follow-up. Angina symptoms disappeared in 758 patients and were relieved in 352 patients. During follow-up, 64-row helical CT of 586 patients with preoperative total RCA occlusion showed good graft patency, and echocardiography and nuclear myocardial scan showed improved left ventricular systolic function and myocardial blood flow. ConclusionThe incidence of total RCA occlusion is 18.6% in our study. Appropriate surgical strategies are needed according to individualized patient conditions to get satisfactory clinical outcomes.
Objective To compare the clinical early results of on-pump and off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting re-operations (re-CABG)and introduce our experience. Methods From April 2000 to June 2006, 21 cases with coronary artery diease of re-CABG were performed in this hospital. 10 patients received off-pump CABG (off-pump group), and 11 underwent CABG re-operations with cardiopulmonary bypass CABG(on-pump group). There were no significant difference regarding gender, age, weight, diabetes, hypertension, left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDD) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) between two groups before operation. On-pump CABG procedures were performed on hypothermia cardiopulmonary bypass. Standard methods were used to finish off-pump CABG. Flow meters were utilized to measure the flow of grafts in both groups. Results No one in off-pump group needed to conver to on-pump CABG. There was no operative or late mortality. The operation time, respiratory support time, the volume of chest tube drainage, blood transfusion and postoperative hospital stay were less in off-pump group than those in on-pump group after operation. Early death occurred in 1 patient in on-pump group. The number of distal anastomosis were more in on-pump group than that in off-pump group. Conclusions Both off-pump CABG and on-pump CABG can be applied to CABG re-operations and achieved similar completeness of revascularization, similar early surgical results.
Coronary artery bypass grafting has made great progress in recent years. Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting （off-pump） can escape from many complications resulting from cardiopulmonary bypass which powered the interest of more and more surgeons, but it is more technically demanding. Conventional coronary artery bypass grafting aided by cardiopulmonary bypass （on-pump） can provide with good condition for anastomosis, and is still applied widely. The comparation of the two surgical techniques were reviewed, including graft patency, mortality, inflammatory response, influence on coagulation and anticoagulation, injury to important organs, hospital length of stay and cost, technical convertion, et al.
Objective To investigate clinical outcomes and perioperative management of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting （OPCAB） for patients following acute myocardial infarction （AMI）.?Methods?From January 2006 to March 2010， 239 consecutive patients underwent OPCAB on the 14-27 （20.55±3.91） d following AMI（AMI group）in Renji Hospital，School of Medicine of Shanghai Jiaotong University. Preoperative MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase（CK-MB） level was （15.82±6.24） U/L and cardiac troponin I（cTnI） was （0.07±0.04） ng/ml. Clinical data of 406 patients without myocardial infarction history who underwent OPCAB during the same period were also collected as the control group for comparison.?Results?The 30-day mortality of AMI group was 2.51% （6/239）. The causes of death were circulatory failure in 4 patients， ischemic necrosis of lower extremity caused by intra-aortic balloon pump （IABP） in 1 patient and pneumonia with septic shock in 1 patient. Dopamine usage in AMI group was significantly higher than that of the control group （61.51% vs. 37.44%， P=0.001）. Intraoperative or postoperative IABP implantation was more common in AMI group， but there was no statistical difference between the two groups（P＞0.05） . Postoperative drainage and blood transfusion in AMI group were significantly larger than those of the control group （385.18±93.22 ml vs. 316.41±70.05 ml， P=0.022；373.68±69.54 ml vs. 289.78±43.33 ml， P=0.005， respectively）. But there was no statistical difference in re-exploration rate between the two groups （P＞0.05）. There was no statistical difference in the incidence of postoperative new onset atrial fibrillation between the two groups （P＞0.05）. Incidence of acute kidneyinjury of AMI group was significantly higher than that of the control group （13.81% vs. 8.62%， P=0.038）. Postoperative 30-day mortality of AMI group was higher than that of the control group， but there was no statistical difference between the two groups （2.51% vs. 1.48%，P＞0.05）. There was no statistical difference in ICU stay time and postoperative hospital stay between the two groups （2.01±0.95 d vs. 1.78±0.98 d；10.33±4.16 d vs. 9.89±4.52 d， respectively， P＞0.05）. A total of 211 patients （88.28%）in AMI group were followed up for 2.89±1.02 years， and 28 patients （11.72%） were lost during follow-up. Twenty-five patients died during follow-up including 14 cardiac deaths. One-year survival rate was 97.63%， and five-year survival rate was 88.15%.?Conclusion?It’s comparatively safe to perform OPCAB for patients at 2-4 weeks following AMI when their CK-MB and cTnI levels have returned to normal range.
Objective To explore the factors affecting the operation of coronary artery bypass grafting with heart beating and improve the effect of the operation. MethodsFrom January 2012 to June 2016, 898 patients with coronary heart disease who received cardiovascular surgery in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Jilin University were analyzed retrospectively. All patients only underwent coronary artery bypass grafting with beating heart. Among them, 797 patients underwent the off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (an OPCABG group, 592 males and 205 females, with an average age of 60.5±8.4 years); another 101 patients received on-pump beating heart coronary artery bypass grafting (an OPBH group, 77 males and 24 females, with an average age of 61.5±8.2 years). ResultsThe average number of grafts in the OPCABG group was 3.36±0.74, and in the OPBH group was 3.71±0.69 (P<0.05). The postoperative ventilation time (10.8±9.5 h vs. 20.6±12.3 h), ICU stay (28.8±15.5 h vs. 37.4±30.8 h), hospital stay (10.9±4.8 d vs. 14.8±8.6 d), mortality (1.1% vs. 3.0%), the utilization rate of intra-aortic balloon pump (2.4% vs. 8.9%) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (0.5% vs. 5.0%) were significantly different between the OPCABG group and OPBH group (all P<0.05). Twelve patients died after surgery, and the total bloodless operation ratio was 91.3%. ConclusionThe results show that most patients can achieve good results with the help of apical fixation and myocardial fixator, improved surgical techniques and methods, good anesthesia management as well as flexible and accurate use of vasoactive drugs. But extracorporeal circulation is necessary in the patients with large left ventricle, low ejection fraction and hemodynamic instability after intraoperatively moving the heart.
Objective To identify clinical significance of high level cardiac troponin I （cTnI） in the early postoperative period of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting （OPCAB） and its predictive value for early clinical outcomes. Methods A total of 240 patients undergoing isolated OPCAB in the Department of Cardiac Surgery of People’s Hospitalof Peking University during 2011 were recruited in the study. There were 164 males and 76 females with their age of 36-83（62.07±8.24） years. Serum cTnI levels in 4-6 hours and 12-18 hours after OPCAB were monitored. Influential factors and its predictive value for early clinical outcomes of OPCAB were analyzed. Binary logistic regression analysis，correlation analysis and receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve were performed for statistic analysis. Results Serum cTnI level in 4-6 hours after OPCAB （TNI0） was 1.28±0.40 ng/ml，and serum cTnI level in 12-18 hours after OPCAB （TNI1） was 3.60±0.74 ng/ml. Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that graft number was significant influential factors of TNI0 （P=0.000） and TNI1 （P=0.010）. Serum cTnI level in 12-18 hours after OPCAB was significantly correlated with early clinicaloutcomes of OPCAB （P＜0.05），but the correlational relationship was not b （correlation coefficient＜0.5）. ROC curveanalysis showed that serum cTnI level in 12-18 h after OPCAB had higher predictive value for patient prognosis （P＜0.05）. Serum cTnI level higher than 1.49 ng/ml in 12-18 h after OPCAB had good predictive value for postoperative ECG changes，use of intra-aortic balloon pump （IABP） and in-hospital mortality. Conclusions Serum cTnI level increases in varying degrees in the early postoperative period of OPCAB. Together with ECG changes，serum cTnI level can be used for early diagnosis of perioperative myocardial infarction with significant predictive value for early clinical outcomes of OPCAB.

Coagulation index decreased significantly on the operation day, but then increased in both groups on the next day after operation, with the increase in the PGE1 group significantly less than control group (P lt;0. 05). Postoperative serum Cr and BUN increased significantly in the both groups, especially in the control group (P lt; 0105). Conclus ion PGE1 has potential beneficial effect on patients undergoing OPCAB.
ObjectiveTo explore the difference between minimally invasive direct and conventional thoracotomy off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). MethodsWe selected 276 patients underwent off-pump CABG surgery in our hospital from June 2005 through June 2014. There were 55 patients with minimally invasive off-pump CABG surgery and 221 patients conventional thoracotomy surgery. By using the method of peopensity score matching, we selected 55 conventional thoracotomy patients as a control group in our study. There were 41 males and 14 females at age of 60.8±10.5 years with minimally invasive off-pump CABG surgery, 44 males and 11 females at age of 60.6±12.5 years with conventional thoracotomy. ResultsThere was no statistical difference in surgery time, stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) time between conventional thoracotomy surgery and minimally invasive off-pump CABG. Compared with conventional thoracotomy surgery, minimally invasive off-pump CABG patients had statistical improvement in post-operative hospital stay time (7.3±3.1 d vs. 8.8±3.9 d, P=0.01), postoperative drainage (684(0-2 790)ml vs. 739(50-4 460)ml, P=0.03), perioperative blood transfusion (1.91(0-20)U vs. 6.62(0-20)U, P=0.00), surgery incision length (5.6±1.1 cm vs. 26.3±4.5 cm, P=0.00). ConclusionOverlooking the learning curve, minimally invasive direct off-pump CABG surgery has more advantages than conventional thoracotomy surgery. It is a safe and effective procedure.
